WWE NXT Star's Debut Set, Former WWE Star Becomes A Deputy, Eva Marie's Salute To Troops
- This week's edition of WWE NXT has already aired in Australia and a vignette hyping the debut of the wrestler known as Kevin Steen was shown. The date 12/11/14 appears on the screen as it faded to black.
December 11, 2014 is of course the date of the NXT Takeover special on the WWE Network.
- Barry Buchanan, who competed as Recon, Bull Buchanan and B² in WWE, is now a deputy with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office in Georgia. His move from the wrestling ring to holding a deputy badge is profiled here.
While continuing to wrestle, Buchanan entered the field last year at Carroll County Jail. Now that he is becoming a deputy, he is hanging up the boots later this month, with a retirement event for charity.
"Dreams do come true," he said. "I've lived one dream, now I'm starting another."
- Eva Marie and WWE Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat were on hand for USO Metropolitan Washington's annual Salute to Military Chefs event in Pentagon City on Wednesday night. The absent WWE Diva says she was proud to take part in the experience.
"The greatest part of being a #WWE Diva is being able to be a part of nights like tonight," Eva Marie wrote on Instagram. "I love and respect our military beyond words, And it is amazing to be a part of a company that feels the same @WWE . Honored to take part in this year's "USO Metro Salute To Military Chiefs Dinner" Thank you to all of our service men and women for what you do day in and day out!"
